ETtechRocket, an AI-powered app-building platform from Surat, has raised $15 million in a seed funding round led by Salesforce Ventures and Accel, with participation from the Together Fund.
Founded by Vishal Virani, Rahul Shingala, and Deepak Dhanak, the company enables users to create production-ready applications from natural language prompts.
This funding marks a new phase for Rocket, which pivoted earlier this year from Dhiwise. The company’s focus was developer workflows and converting ideas from the design stage into code, building a community of developers. Dhiwise had raised funds from Accel and the Together Fund in earlier rounds as well. The pivot to Rocket shows the company’s deliberate shift to becoming a fully AI-driven platform to deliver end-to-end, production-ready applications.
Rocket enables users to build multi-page applications from natural language prompts, going beyond simple code generation. The company will use the fresh capital to expand research and development, accelerate product building, and extend operations globally, with a new north American headquarters in Palo Alto.
“The funding will help fuel our vision to eliminate the technical barriers that prevent great ideas from becoming reality’’, cofounder and COO Dhanak said. “It will help us continue to build our product capabilities, especially as we expand into new markets and use our new office in Palo Alto as a gateway to Silicon Valley’s enterprise ecosystem’’, he added.
Rocket wants to speed up the process of turning ideas into fully functional software. Since its launch four months ago, the company said its platform already has 4,00,000 users in 180 countries, who have built over 5,00,000 production-ready ideas. The user base includes startups, agencies, small businesses, and Fortune 100 teams. Rocket claims rapid adoption for dashboards, internal tools, and consumer apps.
It currently has a 60-member team across Surat and Palo Alto, and plans to double its engineering and product teams in India over the next 12-15 months to support the growth.
“At Rocket, it’s not about coding faster. It’s about solving smarter. Our belief is simple — building applications should be as natural as thinking. Rocket turns imagination into production-ready apps and websites that launch and scale from day one,” Virani said in a statement.
